Agreed with many of the points above, I view Nokia's Web Runtime technology as a precursor to Palm's webOS development environment (from what little we know of it) and similar to Apple's Dashboard widgets; Microsoft's Vista widgets etc.

Hopefully it'll make a proper arrival in fremantle (and was, as sjgadsby says, targetted for elephanta). Hopefully webOS will also raise the game for writing relatively large apps in these multi-platform, runtime technologies.

@kontorri: certainly it wouldn't be hard to use a GtkMozEmbed or equivalent in a home applet (I suppose); but is the technology in place, in Diablo, for running Nokia Web Runtime widgets (or whatever the term is), using a similar/same API as the S60 variant?
